THE COLLECTED WORKS of MAHATMA GANDHI It Was a Tremendous Work to Carry out These Reforms in the Seven Lakhs of India’S Villages 1. LETTER TO BAIJNATH MAHODAYA SEVAGRAM, October 2, 1944 BHAI BAIJNATH, I read your long letter. Do whatever you think right in the matter. It is beyond my understanding. Blessings from BAPU SHRI BAIJNATH MAHODAYA 179 RAMBAGH INDORE (C. I.) From a copy of the Hindi: Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 2. INTERVIEW TO “ THE HINDU” October 2, 1944 When I approached him this morning and asked him whether he had any particular message to give to the country on this auspicious day, Gandhiji said: I am not accustomed to giving messages on such occasions. Gandhiji amidst laughter added: I want life for 125 years. But Malaviyaji cut it down by 25 years when he wired to me in Poona at Parnakuti that I must live for a hundred years. Bernard Shaw’s message arrived here today . that he would not send birthday messages to Gandhiji. Gandhiji laughed aloud and said: There you are. I did not know until a few years ago that I have a birthday. The Hindu, 4-10-1944 VOL.85 : 2 OCTOBER, 1944 - 3 MARCH, 1945 1 3. SPEECH AT KASTURBA MEMORIAL TRUST MEETING1 SEVAGRAM, October 2, 1944 Gandhiji reminded them that the day’s gathering was not a public meeting. There was an order prohibiting general meetings without previous Government permission throughout the Wardha district. They all knew that he was a confirmed civil resister. But this was not the occasion for civil disobedience. Disobedience to be civil implies a certain procedure. This was a meeting of the trustees and collectors of the Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Fund for presentation of the collection. Referring to the large number of people from Wardha and outside that had gathered there, he remarked that the reason for their presence on that occasion was that, for years, people all over India had got into the habit of celebrating his birthday according to both the Indian and the Christian calendar. The intervening period between the two dates was also included in the observance. This time, it had become known long before that he intended coming to Sevagram for receiving the purse on October 2. The Secretary, in his report, had told them how the idea of the Fund had originated. They might like to know how he had come to be the President of the Trust. The collections were started when he was in jail. The trustees had asked for his consent to nominate him as their President. After his accidental release2, owing to illness, they were able to consult him and he had become President for the purpose of guiding the trustees as to how the money collected should be spent in a manner befitting the memory of the late Smt. Kasturba. The responsibility primarily rested on the trustees, but it rested on him most of all. The money had to be spent in villages, which were not part of the cities. The poorer and farther away from the cities, the better. The Fund had to be spent for education and welfare of women and children only. At first, the age limit for male children had been fixed at twelve years. He himself had thought of raising it to sixteen. But it was pointed out to him that in that case boys would get a disproportionate share, leaving the girls at a disadvantage and so their age limit was reduced to seven years. As he had already remarked, the money was to be spent for education of women and children. So long as he had any voice in the matter, the education would be of the basic education type. The scope of basic education included the education of the entire society, beginning with the children and going up to adults and old men and women. It had to be imparted through the practice of handicrafts, village sanitation and medical relief, preventive and curative, especially with regard to deficiency diseases. 1 Gandhiji addressed the trustees and collectors of the Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Fund in Hindustani. On behalf of the trustees Sarojini Naidu presented him a purse of Rs. 80 lakhs, This report of the speech was issued to the Press by Pyarelal. 2 On May 6, 1944 2 THE COLLECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI It was a tremendous work to carry out these reforms in the seven lakhs of India’s villages. A sum of rupees seventy-five lakhs or even of rupees one crore was a trifle, compared to the vastness of the task. Seventy-five per cent of the money collected from a particular area would be spent in that area, not being towns or cities, and the remaining twenty-five per cent would go to the Central Fund. But the money collected from big cities would all go to the Central Fund and nothing out of it would be spent in the cities. In place of collection committees new committees would have to be formed to ensure proper spending of the money. These committees might include some members of the collecting committees, but new names should be added. If in any place ways and means of spending the money satisfactorily in accordance with the aims and objects of the Fund could not be found, the money would remain with the Central Fund. On the other hand, if in any place suitable workers in adequate number could be found to carry out bigger plans satisfactorily, they would be given more money. It was his wish that, as far as possible, money should be spent through the agency of women workers. It was a matter of regret that women workers with suitable qualifications were not forthcoming in sufficient numbers. The fault lay with the men who had kept the women enslaved in domestic drudgery. They had to draw them out and push them to the fore. After all men were not born efficient as a special creation. It rested on them to produce more and efficient women workers. Men, before they became efficient workers, were prone to make mistakes. Therefore, they must not expect efficiency from women without giving them responsible work. The Fund was collected in commemoration of an old illiterate village-minded woman. It would give peace to her departed soul if women, and especially old women, took a leading part in the execution of the object of the Memorial. The collection had been made out of an overflow of enthusiasm and affection towards the memory of the departed soul. He wanted them to see that it was spent in a way commensurate with that sentiment. That was not a task merely for the twenty-six trustees; hundreds of workers would be needed for it. He had already said that to spend money properly was much more difficult than to collect it, unless they showed as much aptness in the former, as they had done in the latter. So long as he was with them in the flesh, he would, of course, argue with them and fight with them, but it was for them to see that their work was so carried on as to give to the departed soul no cause for dissatisfaction.1 The Hindu, 4-10-1944 1 At one of the meetings of the Trust the question of Kasturba’s outlook on life was raised during the discussion. Gandhiji was reported to have said: “Kasturba’s outlook on life means the outlook represented by Kasturba Gandhi, not Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.” VOL.85 : 2 OCTOBER, 1944 - 3 MARCH, 1945 3 4.

A LETTER SEVAGRAM Octoer 4, 1944 DEAR NAWAB SAHEB, This is to seek your intervention in this communal tangle. Show me please where I have erred if at all. I did the best I was capable of.

Tell me of your reactions to the talks with the Quaid-e-Azam. What do you think of my extension of the meaning of Nayee Talim? You ought to take an active interest in the Kasturba Trust. Bapa and others were complaining that you had not attended a single meeting. Lastly, how are you? Love. BAPU DR. ZAKIR HUSAIN From a copy: Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 8. NOTE TO DR. GOPICHAND BHARGAVA October 4, 1944 I wish I had come in greater contact with Laxmidevi than I have been able to.

  • Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948)
    The following text was originally published in PROSPECTS: the quarterly review of education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. 23, no. 3/4, 1993, p. 507–17. ©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 1999 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI (1869–1948) Krishna Kumar Rejection of the colonial education system, which the British administration had established in the early nineteenth century in India, was an important feature of the intellectual ferment generated by the struggle for freedom. Many eminent Indians, political leaders, social reformers and writers voiced this rejection. But no one rejected colonial education as sharply and as completely as Gandhi did, nor did anyone else put forward an alternative as radical as the one he proposed. Gandhi’s critique of colonial education was part of his overall critique of Western civilization. Colonization, including its educational agenda, was to Gandhi a negation of truth and non-violence, the two values he held uppermost. The fact that Westerners had spent ‘all their energy, industry, and enterprise in plundering and destroying other races’ was evidence enough for Gandhi that Western civilization was in a ‘sorry mess’.1 Therefore, he thought, it could not possibly be a symbol of ‘progress’, or something worth imitating or transplanting in India. It would be wrong to interpret Gandhi’s response to colonial education as some kind of xenophobia. It would be equally wrong to see it as a symptom of a subtle revivalist dogma. If it were possible to read Gandhi’s ‘basic education’ plan as an anonymous text in the history of world education, it would be conveniently classified in the tradition of Western radical humanists like Pestalozzi, Owen, Tolstoy and Dewey.

  • Gandhi E Le Donne Occidentali
    Gandhi e le donne occidentali Di Thomas Weber* Abstract: This paper is the Italian translation of an edited chapter of Thomas Weber’s Going Native. Gandhi’s Relationship With Western Women (Roli Books, New Delhi 2011) in which Gandhi’s attitudes to and relationships with women are analysed. Many Western women inspired him, worked with him, supported him in his political activities in South Africa and India, or contributed to shaping his international image. Of particular note are those women who “became native” to live with Gandhi as close friends and disciples. Through these fascinating women, we get a different insight into Gandhi’s life. *** Il rapporto di Gandhi con le donne si è rivelato di irresistibile fascino per molti. Molto spesso le persone che non conoscono praticamente nulla del Mahatma commentano il fatto che “dormì” con giovani donne durante la vecchiaia. Gran parte di questo deriva dall’interesse pruriginoso promosso da biografie sensazionalistiche o libri volti a smascherare il “mito del Mahatma” (Ved Metha 1976). Gandhi parlava spesso delle donne come del sesso più forte (e questo è stato visto come una forma di paternalismo dai critici, soprattutto di orientamento femminista) e di come desiderasse essere una madre per i suoi seguaci. Non sorprende pertanto che le collezioni delle sue lettere e dei suoi discorsi “sulle donne” siano molte. Ciò che meraviglia è quanto poco lavoro accademico sia stato intrapreso sul suo atteggiamento nei confronti e sulle sue relazioni con le donne. Nel 1953, Eleanor Morton pubblicò un libro intitolato The Women in Gandhi’s Life (Women Behind Mahatma Gandhi nell’edizione britannica dell’anno successivo).

  • Volume Fourty-One : (Dec 2, 1927
    1. SPEECH AT PUBLIC MEETING, CHICACOLE December 3, 1927 You seem to be dividing all the good things with poor Utkal1. I flattered myself with the assumption that my arrival here is one of the good things, for I was going to devote all the twenty days to seeing the skeletons of Orissa; but as you, the Andhras, are the gatekeepers of Orissa on this side, you have intercepted my march. But I am glad you have anticipated me also. After entering Andhra Desh, I have been doing my business with you and I know God will reward all those unknown people who have been co-operating with me who am a self- appointed representative of Daridranarayana. And here, too, you have been doing the same thing. Last night, several sister came and presented me with a purse. But let me tell you this is not after all my tour in Andhra. I am not going to let you alone so easily as this, nor will Deshabhakta Konda Venkatappayya let me alone, because I have toured in some parts of Ganjam. I am under promise to tour Andhra during the early part of next year, and let me hope what you are doing is only a foretaste of what you are going to do next year. You have faith in true non-co-operation. There is the great drink evil, eating into the vitals of the labouring population. I would like you to non-co-operate with that evil without a single thought and I make a sporting proposal, viz., that those who give up drink habit should divide their savings with me on behalf of Daridranarayan.

  • 1. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHERE LIQUOR IS BEING SERVED? a Gentleman Asks in Sorrow:1 I Am Not Aware of Liquor Having Been Served at the Garden Party
    1. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHERE LIQUOR IS BEING SERVED? A gentleman asks in sorrow:1 I am not aware of liquor having been served at the garden party. However, I would have attended it even if I had known it. A banquet was held on the same day. I attended it even though liquor was served there. I was not going to eat anything at either of these two functions. At the dinner a lady was sitting on one side and a gentleman on the other side of me. After the lady had helped herself with the bottle it would come to me. It would have to pass me in order to reach the gentleman. It was my duty to pass it on to the latter. I deliberately performed my duty. I could have easily refused to pass it saying that I would not touch a bottle of liquor. This, however, I considered to be improper. Two questions arise now. Is it proper for persons like me to go where drinks are served ? If the answer is in the affirmative, is it proper to pass a bottle of liquor from one person to another? So far as I am concerned the answer to both the questions is in the affirmative. It could be otherwise in the case of others. In such matters, I know of no royal road and, if there were any, it would be that one should altogether shun such parties and dinners. If we impose any restrictions with regard to liquor, why not impose them with regard to meat, etc.? If we do so with the latter, why not with regard to other items which we regard as unfeatable? Hence if we look upon attending such parties as harmful in certain circumstances, the best way seems to give up going to all such parties.

    1. LETTER TO PARASRAM MEHROTRA [Before June 16, 1932]1 CHI. PARASRAM, Judging from your letter the children seem to have made good progress. You speed with the takli is also good. Do give half an hour daily to it; if you can in what time spin 160 rounds, nothing can be better than that. What does kule ki haddi2 mean? The word Kula is not to be found in the Hindi Dictionary. Why did the haddi get swollen? Has the swelling subsided now? If it has not, you must take immediate steps to cure it. The replies to the questions which you have put to Mahadev are: 1. I consider a minimum of half an hour’s walk morning and evening essential for you and others. It is not necessary to sit in one position for more than an hour. One should stand up for a minute at least, or change the posture. 2. It is natural that a mother should desire to see her son, but every mother ought to restrain such a with and, if the son is engaged in some activity of service, he must cure his mother of such attachment. 3. When a son goes abroad and lives in a foreign country for ten years, his mother has no choice but to bear the separation. There are innumerable poor mothers in India who possibly never again see the face of their son after he has gone out to earn a living. One may console the mother through a letter, and cheer her as much as one can by reasoning with her and citing other similar instances.
